Most people assume brain aging is something you deal with later. Or worse, something you can’t change at all.

Christin Glorioso has spent her career proving that assumption wrong. With MD PhD training, a neuroscience postdoc at MIT, and her work as the founder and CEO of NeuroAge, she studies how the brain ages and how much of that process is actually within our control. The work became personal when she uncovered a genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease and saw the same diagnosis move through her family.

Dr. Kevin White sits down with Christin to explore what happens when brain health stops being abstract and becomes something you can measure. They talk through how brain aging often starts much earlier than people realize, why waiting for symptoms is a losing strategy, and how factors like sleep disruption, rising blood pressure, lipid changes, and fitness quietly shape cognitive health years before memory problems appear.

In this episode, you’ll hear how Christin tested her own brain age, made targeted lifestyle and medical changes, and saw measurable improvements including increased hippocampal volume. They also unpack why genetics are not destiny, how prevention works when it starts early enough, and why clarity can be more empowering than reassurance.

If you’ve ever wondered when you should start paying attention to brain health, or assumed cognitive decline was inevitable, this conversation offers a grounded and hopeful reframe rooted in data, agency, and practical action.

Dr. Jenn Simmons spent nearly two decades as a board-certified breast surgeon working inside conventional oncology. Then her own health crisis forced her to question the system she had been trained to defend and ultimately walk away from it.

Dr. Kevin White sits down with Dr. Simmons to unpack how that turning point reshaped her understanding of breast cancer, prevention, and what real health protection looks like for women. She shares why focusing solely on tumors misses the bigger picture, how inflammation and environment quietly shape risk long before diagnosis, and why many standard screening practices deserve closer scrutiny.

In this episode, you’ll hear why “We’re very good at reacting to disease. We’re much worse at asking what created it,” how medical dogma can persist even when data says otherwise, and what safer, more respectful approaches to screening and prevention can look like when women are treated as individuals rather than protocols.

If you’ve ever felt confused, pressured, or dismissed when making decisions about breast health, this conversation offers a calmer starting point: one rooted in information, agency, and long-term wellbeing.

Rian Smoak thought he was chasing an Ironman finish line. But as he tells it, “that finish line became my new start line.”

Dr. Kevin White reconnects with a longtime friend and endurance athlete whose story runs far deeper than training plans and race photos. Rian shares how growing up under chronic stress shaped his drive, how a health scare forced him to rethink what “healthy” actually means, and how one defining moment in Kona led to the creation of TRI-DAT: a mission built around helping athletes with different abilities experience their own moments of possibility and pride.

In this episode, you’ll hear how early pressure and perfectionism quietly tax the nervous system, why purpose can change what the body is capable of, and how trading the chase for status or possessions for a cause rooted in service can radically shift both physical and mental health.

If you’ve been living on alert, this conversation is a reminder that your body isn’t broken. It’s responding to the environment it’s been placed in. Start with one decision that lowers the noise, supports recovery, and moves you closer to a life that feels aligned.

You can follow Rian’s work and the TRI-DAT mission on Instagram at @tridat365.
